One of the most comprehensive Conway Twitty collections on the market, 2006`s two-disc GOLD spans the country star`s entire career, from his late-1950s rock-&-roll days to his final recordings in the early `90s. This impressive 40-track set acknowledges Twitty`s short-lived stint as a rockabilly performer with its first four tunes, most notably the yearning "It`s Only Make Believe," which finds the Mississippi-born singer pulling a very convincing Elvis impersonation. Though Twitty fell off the music radar for most of the `60s, he returned confidently in `68 (a good year for comebacks) as a country crooner with the lovelorn "Next in Line." It was smooth sailing from then on, as Twitty offered up a stunning streak of hits that lasted until just before his death in 1993. Among the many classics on GOLD are the aching "Hello Darlin`," the smoldering "After the Fire Is Gone" (one of Twitty`s numerous duets with Loretta Lynn), and the lilting "I`ve Already Loved You in My Mind." For listeners seeking a thorough Twitty retrospective, the well-selected GOLD is ideal.
